What's in Your Wardrobe?
To survive is to change constantly. In BUB Enterprises' case, the company has survived in the market by constantly introducing new products. Recently, BUB Enterprises improved one of its exhaust systems for FLs-the Cross Dresser II. This new design utilizes 2-1/4-inch-diameter heat shields to keep your blues at bay and has a cleaner, fatter look. An O2 port has been added to the header for those who wish to run aftermarket fuel-management systems-no more need for drilling and welding your new chrome exhaust to implement proper fuel management. Cross Dresser II Header/Heat Shield systems will work with any aftermarket mufflers that fit the stock OEM headers, as well as several slip-on options offered by BUB, including the one shown here, called "Sleepers."

Be an original with the Hatchets exhaust system from Porker Performance. This bad boy features unique, upswept shovel-cut ends, and the finish will last and last, thanks to a blue-proof design. Seamless, removable, full-length 2-1/2-inch heat shields surround 1-3/4-inch head pipes that are stepped to 2-1/8-inch mufflers. Louvered core baffles are included.

A Very Long Postponement
Finally, a pipe for shovels and pan motors! Thug Custom Cycles stepped up to the plate and made an exhaust that looks great and sounds awesome going down the road. At last there's a pipe that works either with a kick start or without. The new hot rod exhaust comes in black or show chrome and is available for new-style bobbers and old-school bikes.

Build a Bike to Fit This Pipe
You'll be tempted to do just that when you behold the pure potential of Doug Keim Creative Cycles' (DKCC) 3-Oh-Nine Bare exhaust pipe, which is offered in raw steel and ready for your finishing touches. Features include stepped head pipes, a two-into-one merge-style collector, a huge 3-inch outlet, and ultra-heavy-gauge steel tubing throughout the pipe. The 3-Oh-Nine Bare pipe will fit all H-D Evo and Twin-Cam big-twin models (except '06 models with 02 sensors), as well as most custom applications with forward controls. The rear head pipe may interfere with some large-diameter OEM air-cleaner covers.

High Stylin'
Steve Storz and Denis Manning of BUB Enterprises have teamed up to design and produce these new 2:2 dirt track-style high pipes for Harley's new rubber-mount Sportsters. The system features two individual head pipes with stepped diameters leading into beautifully tapered megaphones with billet-aluminum end caps. Fixed steel baffles produce a mellow but powerful exhaust note and never require repacking. The pipes have individual heat shields that run from the cylinder head to the start of the megaphone. They are available in chrome or unplated finishes and will work with the stock footpegs and controls.
